I am a temporary worker in Jinyiwei, how did I become a powerful official?

Chapter 31 Temporary Worker Becomes Regular Worker

At the exact time of Chen, the thousand households in the elephant training center were on duty.

Lin Shisan and Sun Yue knelt down in front of Captain Chang Qingyun, ready to report.

Chang Qingyun still had his usual indifferent attitude towards everything and was busy fiddling with the birdcage.

Lin Shisan kowtowed: "Reporting to the commander. Last night."

Chang Qingyun waved his hand and said, "Who did you meet last night, and what happened? I don't want to know."

Lin Shisan had no choice but to keep silent.

Chang Qingyun put down the bird cage and said, "The young shopkeeper already knows everything about what happened last night. He praised you for being smart and capable, and said that being a lieutenant is a waste of your talent."

When a boss praises a subordinate for a job well done, an experienced subordinate should give the credit to the boss.

Lin Shisan said: "I am a stupid subordinate. I was able to complete the task only because of the proper command of my superiors."

Lin Shisan's rhetoric could please ordinary superiors, but it could not please Chang Qingyun, who was out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements.

Chang Qingyun waved his hand again: "Don't say these sticky words. I don't like to hear them."

Lin Shisan quickly bowed: "Yes."

Chang Qingyun took out a wooden box from the drawer of the desk. Inside the box were some fresh bee pupae.

He picked one up with a bamboo stick and fed it to the thrush: "You, Lin Lin Shisan, right? The method you taught me to stimulate the thrush's appetite is really effective. Thank you."

Lin Shisan said, "It is a blessing for me to be able to serve the thousand households after ten lifetimes of cultivation. It is not worth mentioning such a trivial matter."

While feeding Huamei, Chang Qingyun said, "The young shopkeeper asked me to tell him that Lin Shisan has made contributions. We Jinyiwei always reward those who have made contributions. Today, Lin Shisan will go to the rear army governor's office to prepare for the guard registration, and be transferred to the registered lieutenant, and still serve in the elephant training station."

Lin Shisan stood there in a daze.

The amount of silver required to transfer a lieutenant from a hall-appointed lieutenant to a registered lieutenant varied among the various departments and offices within the Jinyiwei.

The most expensive one is the Northern Pacification Office. It costs 3,000 taels of silver to register a post. Even if you can afford the money, it may not be possible to get it done. You need to have made medium-level or higher merits and have a relationship with a thousand households or above.

The cheapest is the elephant training center, which costs 1,000 taels of silver. And the opportunity is rare.

The number of people who were transferred to the Jinyiwei in a year was only three or five, at most more than ten. There were not enough people in the Zhenfu Division and the Experience Division, so how could they get a turn in the Elephant Training Institute?

Of course, in addition to paying money, there is another way to be registered. That is to make great contributions to the Jinyiwei, and the officials in the hall will show special favor.

Although Lu Yi is not an official in the court, his father is. Since ancient times, father and son have been one body, and the Jinyiwei is surnamed "Lu", so he can be useful if he speaks up.

There are so many benefits to being registered.

The biggest advantage is that the registered lieutenant can be hereditary. Generation after generation can have a golden rice bowl that cannot be broken or burned.

The specific benefit of being a captain in the elephant training department is that he can get 70 to 80 taels of silver from the elephant fodder every year.

There are several other advantages: when you reveal your identity, you can use your waist badge instead of your official title. Even the local government and county magistrates will treat you with respect.

Once you are on the list and have a military status, you will truly be considered a member of the Jinyiwei and no one will dare to touch you easily.

Everyone in the world knows that Jinyiwei Commander Lu is the most protective of his own people. If anyone dares to touch a Jinyiwei member, even if it is just a small lieutenant, Commander Lu will fight to the death.

In a word: the difference between the two words "tangtie" and "zailu" is as different as heaven and earth.

Lin Shisan was overjoyed when he heard the news. He bowed to Chang Qingyun and said, "Thank you for the promotion!"

Chang Qingyun said, "Don't thank me. The favor was given to you by the young shopkeeper."

After saying that, Chang Qingyun took out an envelope from the case and said, "This is the note approved by the young manager. Take it with you when you go to the rear military governor's office to prepare the files."

Lin Shisan carefully took the envelope with both hands: "Yes, yes."

This envelope will not only ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing in this life, but also that Hu'er will have a job when he grows up. Even if he doesn't live a life of wealth and glory, at least he will have warm clothes and enough food.

Chang Qingyun suddenly changed the subject: "I want to reprimand you on behalf of the young shopkeeper. Kneel down."

Lin Shisan knelt down immediately. He thought: All bosses in the world are the same. If you give me a sweet date, you will be slapped. And vice versa. Chang Qingyun said: "The following words are said by the young shopkeeper, not by me."

Lin Shisan said: "I understand."

Chang Qingyun is a man who does not like to fight with others. His tone of voice is very gentle when he is scolding people: "Lin Shisan, I heard that you have established a relationship with Luo Longwen from the Ministry of Justice? When you are working for the Jinyiwei, you should never compare yourself to others!"

"To put it mildly, you are just clinging to a high official. To put it more seriously, you are betraying your own people. The fifth of the five killing rules of the Jinyiwei family is that those who betray their own people will be killed!"

"Since this is your first offense, I will not pursue you. Remember, the secret judges in the Southern Pacification Division who enforce the family law have very sharp knives in their hands."

Chang Qingyun's tone was not harsh, but every word made Lin Shisan's hair stand on end!

Officials were afraid of the Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards themselves were afraid of the Southern Pacification Division.

The main responsibility of the Southern Pacification Office was to "manage the laws and discipline of the area". To put it bluntly, it was to deal with thieves within the family.

When the Jinyiwei dealt with traitors within their families, they usually had only one word in mind: kill!

Lin Shisan kowtowed and said, "I know I was wrong. I will definitely do it in the future."

Chang Qingyun said calmly: "Forget it, get up. I told you that those words were conveyed by Dai Shao, the shopkeeper. You swear to me that you found the wrong person."

Lin Shisan obeyed and stood up.

Chang Qingyun said: "You can go down. Hurry to the rear army governor's office and pick up your golden rice bowl."

Lin Shisan and Sun Yue took small steps, lowered their heads and clasped their hands, and retreated outside the duty room.

After leaving Qianhu Chang Qingyun's sight, Sun Yue patted Lin Shisan's shoulder fiercely: "Master, you are so rich!"

Lin Shisan sighed, "Alas, I've become rich, but I was also scared to death."

Sun Yue smiled and said, "Master, you have become a registered lieutenant. From now on, I will follow you around and do your work with my chest held high."

Lin Shisan half-jokingly said, "You're not a whore from Yihonglou. What's the point of sticking your chest out?"

The two returned to the duty room of their flag team.

Gao Xiaoqi, who valued money more than anything else, came forward anxiously, "Has Captain Chang completed the task for you? What did he say to you?"

In the Jinyiwei, it was very rare for a captain to skip six levels and directly receive orders or report back from a thousand households.

If a captain messes up his job, the captain will investigate and the officers of the small flags to which the captain belongs will also be held responsible.

Lin Shisan said: "The job is done."

Gao Xiaoqi rubbed his hands: "Is there any reward money?"

This old guy never forgets to share profits with his subordinates.

Lin Shisan replied: "No reward."

Gao Xiaoqi was puzzled: "How come there is no reward for completing the task? Don't bluff me. Did I mess it up or complete it?"

The Jinyiwei's merits were divided into five levels, and all had rewards.

According to the rules: small merits will be rewarded verbally; minor merits will be rewarded with records; small merits will be rewarded with silver; medium merits will be rewarded with small promotions; and great merits will be rewarded with big promotions.

The official was listed in the imperial register, and although he was still at the bottom of the Jinyiwei, it was a major promotion.

Lin Shisan raised the envelope in his hand and said, "Indeed, there is no reward. But the higher-ups rewarded me with a transfer quota."

Gao Xiaoqi was stunned when he heard this: "What?"

Gao Xiaoqi had previously guessed that if a task assigned by the commander himself was completed successfully, it would be a small achievement.

How could he have imagined that finding the dog could be related to the great achievement?

How can we record our great achievements if we don't catch the leader of the grassland spies and bring down an official of the third rank or above?
